Chapter 406
Stefan's voice was cold and hoarse. His thin lips pressed against the woman's ear. His words were
painful and angry. "Renee Everheart, you're truly the most heartless woman I've ever met!"
The emotions that he had held inside for four years rushed out of him uncontrollably like an avalanche.
He hugged her really tightly, as if he wanted to crush her and incorporate her pieces into his own
body... As if that was the only way he could ensure that she would remain in his life and not leave him
again!

His embrace was so tight that Renee felt a bit painful. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
With her skills, she could easily drop him to the ground, but she did not resist. She let him hold her like
a meek little rabbit.
The embrace that she once longed for was so strong, so powerful, and so warm, but... it no longer
aroused anything in her heart.
It was easy to fall in love with someone and it was not that hard to let go of someone either. Four years
was enough for her to completely let go.

slowly and reluctantly let go of her, but still stood very close to her.
"Don't misunderstand. The embrace didn't mean anything."
Renee nodded, "Understood.”
The woman's calmness and composure made Stefan inexplicably angry. It felt like... he had just
launched a strong punch that hit a bed of cotton.
There was no impact at all.
He could effortlessly control everything except for this woman in front of him.
Not before, not now. This frustrated him to no end!
"If you're so unhappy with me, why didn't you push me away? You're clearly capable of doing that!”
Stefan asked coldly.
Renee shrugged and said indifferently, "You misunderstood, Mr. Hunt. I'm not unhappy with you. We
used to be husband and wife after all. Now that we see each other again after a long time, a hug
seems like an appropriate thing to do."
"Well said!"
Stefan snorted, "I never knew you're such a carefree person, Miss
Everheart... Do you really think that you don’t need to be responsible for the troubles you caused
anymore after hiding like a coward for four years?"
Renee knew Stefan would not let her off so easily, but she remained calm and asked, "Then what do
you want me to do, Mr. Hunt?"
"Do you know that Briar lost her child because of your cruelty? She even had to have her womb
removed. She'll never get the chance to be a mother again!"
Pain crept into Stefan's handsome face. His voice trembled slightly.
For the past four years, he had been mired in guilt.
He had always felt that it was his mistake that caused his brother to lose his only bloodline and ruined
Briar's life.
For four years, he put a seal on the topic and forbade anyone from bringing it up. Then, he desperately
worked as hard as he could to numb and also to punish himself.
Now that Renee, the fuse of the entire tragedy, finally reappeared, he felt that it was time to undo the
knot in his heart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I don't care whether what you did back then was intentional or an accident, it's a fact that the baby
died at your hands. Briar suffered from severe depression because of that. She tried to commit suicide
countless times in the last four years... You owe her an apology."
"It's that serious?"
Renee's calm expression gradually turned grave.
She did not expect the accident four years ago to have such serious consequences.
In the past, she was too arrogant. Even if she knew that she was in the wrong, she would never
apologize to someone like Briar Desrosiers.
But now that she had become a mother, she knew better than anyone how traumatizing this kind of
experience could be. It was impossible to not feel any guilt over it.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Renee looked coldly at Stefan, paused for a few seconds, then added," However, this is a grudge
between me and Briar. I hope you won't interfere too much. If you get injured by mistake, I won't take
responsibility for it."
Stefan did not expect Renee to agree so easily. Deep down, he felt an indescribable sense of loss...
